"That's right, I'm a great Magic Weapon Smith." The red-haired man seemed very pleased with himself at the mention of his profession. He even raised his head proudly. The way he was acting now was a bit like how Ji Dong acted when he was mixing drinks.
But who knew that after hearing the red-haired man's words, Ji Dong would reply coldly, "What does your profession have to do with me? I've never heard of a Magic Weapon Smith. "
What did it feel like to have a fly thrown into a person's mouth while they were laughing in delight? That was exactly what the red-haired man was feeling right now.
"What! You don't even know what a Magic Weapon Smith is? You're too ignorant! Let me put it this way. An excellent Magic Weapon that suits you is enough to increase a magician's strength by 10%. The most powerful Magic Weapon I can create can even increase attack power by 20%. Do you understand now? "
Ji Dong nodded and said, "I understand. But what does this have to do with me?"
"You …" The red-haired man almost choked to death. He had never met a student like Ji Dong before. He couldn't help but ask, "Kid, don't you want a Magic Weapon that suits you?"
Ji Dong shook his head and said, "No. Firstly, there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world. You definitely won't give me one for free. Secondly, I've just started my training. Relying too much on external objects is not good for my own strength. That's why I'm not interested in whatever Magic Weapon you're talking about. If there's nothing else, I'll train here for a while and wait for that senior to pick me up. "
With that, he sat down on the spot and didn't look at the flabbergasted red-haired man again.
"You …" The red-haired man pulled Ji Dong up in exasperation and said, "Brat, don't play tricks with me. Don't think that I can't see that your flames are mutated. Although I don't know what method you used to conceal your mutated flames, I'm sure that you're not just a simple Bing and Ding Dual Fire."
This time, it was Ji Dong's turn to be surprised, but his surprise only lasted for a moment before he calmed down and said, "So what? Could it be that the Heavenly Stem Academy has a rule that they don't accept students with mutated magic power? "
Second Brother Zhu suddenly laughed and said, "Haha, I guessed it right. No matter how cunning you are, you still had to drink the water I used to wash my feet with. Now that I've made a ruckus, you've exposed yourself. Mutated flame, it really is a mutated flame. I'm really a genius.
Looking at him, Ji Dong was speechless. Although Second Brother Zhu seemed to have gone crazy, he was still fooled.
"Kid, let me see what kind of mutant flame you have. How many years has it been since I last saw a mutated flame? Like I said, with the balance of Yin and Yang, how could it be possible to condense a Yin Yang Crown? There must be something fishy. "
Puzzled, Ji Dong asked, "Is that why you think I have a mutated flame?"
Second Brother Zhu chuckled and said, "Of course it's not that simple, but I won't tell you."
Ji Dong said indifferently, "Letting you see my mutated flame is no big deal. I'll let you see your secret in exchange. Tell me first and I'll let you see, or else we'll break up."
Second Brother Zhu snorted and said, "What a cunning kid, telling you is no big deal. What kind of place do you think the Heavenly Stem Academy is? It's not just the fire element, the other magic elements have also tried to cultivate the Yin and Yang element. Although there aren't many people with the balance of Yin and Yang, the Heavenly Stem Academy has found at least a dozen of them in the past few hundred years. However, all of their attempts have failed. Even with the Heavenly Stem Academy's powerful teachers, they still couldn't cultivate a dual Yin and Yang Magician. How could your success be so simple? The only possibility I can think of is a mutated flame. Is it of the thunder element? Thunder can be divided into Yin and Yang. Hmm, using the Yin and Yang Dual Flames to hide your thunder element, how smart! "
Ji Dong said indifferently, "Unfortunately, you guessed wrong." He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. What kind of existence was the Heavenly Stem Academy? They had even experimented with the balance of Yin and Yang so many times. This wasn't as simple as cultivating students, it was also part of research. He really didn't expect that he would be discovered as soon as he arrived here.
Second Brother Zhu hurriedly said, "Quick, let me see your mutated element. If it's not thunder, then what is it? I don't believe you. Don't worry, I'll definitely keep your secret. I'm probably the only one who can guess that you're a fire mutated element, because my teacher was in charge of cultivating dual Yin and Yang students. He devoted his entire life to cultivating dual element magicians and was never willing to admit that dual Yin and Yang didn't exist. It wasn't until the moment before his death that he told me that unless it's a mutated element, it's very difficult for Yin and Yang to coexist. This secret is also something that only I know. "
"Why should I believe you?" The way Ji Dong poured cold water on Second Brother Zhu was very displeased, but he couldn't do anything about it. Especially when he might see the barrier that his teacher had been unable to break through his entire life about to be opened in front of him. His eagerness and excitement had replaced everything else.
Frowning, Second Brother Zhu raised his right hand and said solemnly, "I, Zhu Yan, swear in the name of the Fire God that after seeing little friend Ji Dong's mutated flame today, I won't tell anyone else. Otherwise, the Fire God will abandon me and strip me of all my magic power."
A thick layer of red light suddenly erupted from his forehead. Then, a flame blossomed in the center of his brow and slowly melted into his skin.
"The contract is done. Is it okay now?" Second Brother Zhu looked at Ji Dong anxiously.
Ji Dong had learned in the Fire Academy that a Magician would never easily make a contract, especially a contract that required one to swear an oath to a God of their own element. The consequences were even more serious.
Raising his hands, Ji Dong's eyes flashed. Suddenly, his entire temperament changed. A domineering might that seemed to pierce through the heavens and earth was instantly released. He held his head high and puffed out his chest like a king in control of everything. Above his head, a black and white Yin-Yang Crown instantly condensed. Then, the Yin-Yang Crown rapidly changed. The original red and blue stars instantly turned gold and black. At the same time, a special flame filled with endless pressure appeared in each of his palms.
Even a powerful Fire Magician like Second Brother Zhu immediately felt the pain of his own fire element being completely suppressed the moment Ji Dong released the Ultimate Dual Flames. The fire behind him instantly dimmed. Even though Ji Dong was standing in a corner of the room, the flames in his palms had become the core of the entire room.
"This, this is …" Second Brother Zhu's body trembled uncontrollably. Looking at the flames in Ji Dong's palms, tears streamed down his face. "Bingwu Primordial Yang Sacred Fire, Dingsi Netherworld Spiritual Fire, Ultimate Fire, Ultimate Fire, two Ultimate Fires actually appearing on one person at the same time. This, this, this …"
The flames disappeared. Ji Dong asked in surprise, "You know about these two flames?"
Second Brother Zhu stared blankly at Ji Dong and said, "Of course I do. Only those who have reached the Nine Crowns and have the exclusive title of the strongest Fire Magician can compress their own demonic power by a hundred times to form the Ultimate Dual Flames. The legendary fire of extreme Yang and extreme Yin. Is it true? Are these really the Ultimate Dual Flames?"
Looking at Second Brother Zhu, Ji Dong seemed to see himself in his previous life when he was completely immersed in the wine culture. The obsession in his eyes was exactly the same as Ji Dong's. Ji Dong couldn't bear to look at Second Brother Zhu, so he nodded and said, "Yes, this is the Ultimate Dual Flames. What's with the lightning element you mentioned just now?"
Second Brother Zhu murmured, "Lightning is a variant of fire. Its attack power is even more terrifying than Bing Fire. It is also divided into Yin and Yang, Yin Lightning and Yang Lightning. However, very few people have such an element. The biggest characteristic of the lightning element is that it is not countered by the water element. Instead, it is countered by the earth element. However, compared to the Ultimate Dual Flames, what is the lightning element? Kid, you are not a genius, but a genius. A genius that only appears once in a hundred years. You hid it well, hid it well. If you didn't hide your Ultimate Dual Flames, I wouldn't have a chance. "
At this point, Second Brother Zhu suddenly seemed to have changed into a different person. He looked at Ji Dong with a face full of smiles and said, "Little brother, how about we make a deal?"
Ji Dong looked at him cautiously. He thought to himself, those who are unaccountably solicitous must have evil intentions. He said, "What for?"
Second Brother Zhu's smile was even a little flattering. He said, "Little brother, after meeting you today, I feel that we hit it off very well. Why don't we become sworn brothers of the opposite sex?"
Ji Dong's eyes widened. He said, "What kind of joke is this? How old are you? "
Second Brother Zhu said bashfully, "I'm not that old. I'm only ninety-seven years old."
"That's not old? I'm fourteen this year. It's more than enough for you to be my great-grandfather, and you're only …? "Ji Dong looked at Second Brother Zhu, speechless.
Second Brother Zhu said unhappily, "Which of those old fellows in the academy's board of directors isn't over a hundred years old? I'm only ninety-seven, so of course I'm not that old. Brother Ji Dong, you should know that there are many benefits to becoming sworn brothers with me. If anyone dares to provoke you in the future, you can come find me. I'll help you take care of them. As long as it's not those old fellows in the board of directors, no one in this academy is my match. Also, if you need any magical weapons in the future, just tell me. I'll make them for you for free. What do you think?"
How could Ji Dong be fooled so easily? He said, "Then what do you want me to do?"
Second Brother Zhu chuckled and rubbed his hands. He said, "Well, you know that when it comes to forging, the flame is the most important. Although I'm a Third Fire Divine Master, sometimes I still feel that the temperature of the flame isn't enough. However, your Ultimate Dual Fire is different. Not only is it extreme Yin and Yang, but it's also tough and soft at the same time. With your help, my forging level will definitely rise to a new level. It won't be a problem even if I become the best in the world. Who knows, I might be able to forge exclusive equipment like the Ten Great Divine Weapons one day."
Ji Dong frowned and shook his head. "No, I can't promise you that. I still need to cultivate. Moreover, with my current strength, I won't be able to last long with the Ultimate Dual Fire. I won't be able to help you much."
Second Brother Zhu scratched his messy red hair and said, "That's true. You're only level ten or so, and your mana is far from enough. Alright, alright, there's no hurry. How about this, when you reach the level of the Three Champions, you can help me forge magical weapons. I don't need much, I'll only need you for six hours a week. The Ultimate Dual Fire isn't used for forging, it's used for instantaneous purification. What else do you think the Ultimate Dual Fire is?"
Ji Dong said calmly, "Let me think about it. My cultivation is still far from reaching the level of the Three Champions anyway."
Second Brother Zhu seemed to have suddenly thought of something. He turned around and ran to the corner to search. After a while, he found two pieces of something and ran back.
"Brother, look at this." He handed over the item in his hand. When Ji Dong looked at it, his body trembled. He had seen these things before. Back when Teacher Xia Tian helped him open the door to becoming a Magician, he had used these two items to give him magical power. What appeared in Second Brother Zhu's hand were two Crystal Crowns. They were the same as the Crystal Crown Xia Tian had, one black and one white. The white one emitted a red light, while the black one emitted a blue light. However, they were much larger, about the size of a ping pong ball, and much thicker. Most importantly, these two Crystal Crowns looked very similar to the Yin Yang Crown. Even if Ji Dong didn't know what a Crystal Crown was, he could tell that the quality of the two in front of him was much better.
"Crystal Crown?" Ji Dong asked doubtfully.
Second Brother Zhu said, "It's good that you recognize them. These two Crystal Crowns are both top-grade, priceless treasures. I've forged so many magical weapons, but I've never been willing to use them. I'll give them to you. With them, your cultivation will be twice the result with half the effort."
Ji Dong said, "What are these Crystal Crowns used for? When I first started cultivating, I used two pieces of Awakening Magic Power. "
"Awaken mana? That's a waste of resources! Crystal Crowns have many uses. They themselves are the purest form of mana. High-grade Crystal Crowns are ten times more effective than the cores produced by magical beasts of the same level. If you absorb it directly, you can at most increase your mana by a little, but if you embed it into a magical weapon, it can greatly increase the weapon's effect. I understand now, you must be absorbing low-grade Crystal Crowns. Those things are trash to me. Crystal Crowns are the same as cores produced by magical beasts, they are also divided into ten levels. You can think of them as the same thing, but the effect of a Crystal Crown of the same level is ten times that of a core. These two Crystal Crowns in my hands are probably the two highest-grade Crystal Crowns in the entire Academy. They are both Level Seven treasures. Of course, this is my private collection and has nothing to do with the Academy. I'll give them to you. With them, your mana absorption speed will increase by at least fifteen percent, and your cultivation will be much faster. Hmm, let me think about it. How about this, I'll forge them into a magical weapon suitable for you.
